How to install the os module?

I'm trying to install the os Python module on Windows.

In a cmd console, I typed:

C:\Users\username> pip install os
Collecting os
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement os (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for os

So I guessed the module was not available on Windows for some reasons, but I found references of it in some SO questions.

Obviously, typing Windows and os in Google only gives me answers about Windows itself.

So, how can I install the os module on Windows?

If you are trying to use the os library in your Python code and you are getting an error like NameError: name 'os' is not defined, you need to make sure you are including an import statement near the top of your Python script to use the os library:

import os

OS is python's standard library. So no need to download it.
